With an unbelievable tactical masterstroke they hunted and ripped me down. No more than 4-5 warplanets (three of them where the houseleaders warplanets) were needed to get my strongly weaponed warplanet.

At the beginning there were no friendly offer to join a house, there was just a message that I will be assimilated and any resistance will not be tolerated...

My question to you: Where is the difference to the so called pirates and rebels mac, MePha a.so.?

My answer: There is no difference. You are in no way better in your attitudes. My behaviour was a reaction to you and your behaviour towards me.

Commander Knox,
In your transmission you state that you were searching for a house to join, I messaged you on more than one occasion and I did not receive any reply from you. No message that I sent to you was hostile. You began attacking planets of some friends and subs of mine and I messaged you again and received no reply. I decided to set course for the area where you were taking planets of my friends. I messaged you that I would be taking the planets back from you that you took and so I did. I did not destroy any of your ships nor attack your wp. I am no pirate nor have I acted as one.
You cannot say that I threatened you with my armada of ships, even though I could have on several different occasions, I did not see fit for me to attack you that way. There is no honor attacking a wp of your size for this instance.
If you are looking to join a house this is not the way to go about joining a house. If you would like, send me a message directly and we can negotiate.
Regards

I got information about your solar systems and your warplanet from my allies. I looked for information about you in the galactic news and the official channels. I found out that you were a relativly new imperator, who attacked everyones planets in his reach.
I decided to show my and my allies superiority to you and offer to you to come into my house.
As I said, you were an enemy to my house and my allies, so my offer was not as friendly as it would have been if you just asked for membership.

Anyway you denied my offer and started flying into my allies territory, so we decided to do everything necessery to hunt you down.

Maybe you should simply ask for surrender now. Maybe there is place for your recommencement.

this knox was branding the good people who stopped him as pirates and rebels. so it was not knox who had wrongly taken his planets? was it not this knox who had taken the planets of some other empires.

knox you are the pirate, you ignored the messages from those you attacked and expected nothing would happen? you reap what you so
